Napoli chief De Laurentiis excited ahead of Man City meeting

Napoli president Aurelio De Laurentiis is eagerly anticipating his clubs first Champions League match in 20 years.

The Naples club take on Manchester City at Etihad Stadium tomorrow night and De Laurentiis is excited about the contest and being back in Europe's top flight.

"It is a fascinating challenge," the Napoli chief told Radio Marte. "We will enjoy a really great experience.

"I agree with (City manager Roberto) Mancini when he says it's a balanced group.

"For us, it's important having won (3-1) in Cesena (in Serie A on the weekend) because we will go to Manchester with more confidence."
